What should I do if my retirement visa expires on October 28 and I'm arriving in Bangkok on November 4?

and O-A and non-O retirement will not require you to leave the country periodically.

that pretty much covers the available options ;)

@Martin ******

yes that would be the best solution

@Anthony ******

Is it O or O-A? If it is O-A then you will be stamped in for a full year as long as you arrive before it expires.

I suggest you land on the 27th of October.

Sorry, but there is not much I can tell, yes I know start all the name calling on this page or by PM. But I asked where and I still have to choose at which of the hundreds Thai Consulates all over the world or which of the 70 plus Immigration Offices in Thailand you are willing to apply. Next to this I ask what you like to apply for, the populair name retirement visa O stands for the 1, the non Immigrant O visa, or 2. the non immigrant o-a visa or 3. the non immigrant o-x visa, all three applied for at a Thai Consulate or 4. the non immigrant o visa or 5. an extension of stay both applied for at an Immigration office.

Where do you like to apply and for what?

Correct me if necessary I see the problem being late application for a renewal is 7 days. Day 1 is 28 Oct and so last day for late renewal at Thai immigration is 3rd Nov. So have to start again with new visa.

And what kind of new rule is made up in which bar last night?
